HIS EARLY LIFE
Born in February of 1969 in the lively city of Ahmedabad, Dr. Hidayatullah was a very curious, keen and a bright student from the very start. He aspired to be amongst the many other great civil servants of our nation, serving our country tirelessly. However due to lack of guidance and proper coaching, he had an unsuccessful attempt at the Gujarat Public Services exam. Understanding that his father, a local school principal and the only one supporting a family of 5, could not afford to send him to costly coaching centers, Dr. Hidayatullah accepted his fate and made it his sole mission to provide free guidance to all the underprivileged bright students who would use their wit to develop this nation but cannot overcome their financial hurdles.
Today, Dr. Hidayatullah works at LIC as a Programmer and also encourages and guides more than 1500+ oppressed aspirants per year towards their dreams and aspirations for free . We must note that Dr. Hidayatullah never bent in front of his circumstances and attained higher degrees. He completed his B.A. followed by M.A. and finally got a PhD degree from Global Peace University. He now leads a simple yet dedicated life towards the welfare and upliftment of the society as whole.
HIS JOURNEY
Dr. Hidayatullah embarked on a transformative journey that began after his 12th class examinations when he landed himself a job at Indian Petrochemical Corporation Limited in the Machine department. Despite this high-income corporate experience, he felt a calling for education and transitioned to Ahmedabad after working tirelessly for 2.5 years, where he initially sought to teach.
However, his professional path took an unexpected turn when he secured a position as a Junior Accountant in the office of the Director of Postal Accounts at the Commission, demonstrating a commitment to public service. Later, He also bagged a position as an Assistant in LIC in 1995 simultaneously clearing various bank and governmental exams. Unfortunately, due to no guidance or proper knowledge of counseling he could not find his way through these results and also had no success in his GPS exams. He accepted his fate but had the fire within him to turn the social tables so as the person irrespective of his background, who scores well and is deserving, be at par with the examinations.
Soon, Dr. Hidayatullah felt the need to invest and make use of his existing knowledge for the cause of good while he also felt saddened that all of his ideals and views went unused, failing to gain a rank at civil services. He decided to join a NGO to teach the aspirants for free from where he received a positive response and results. Even his learners, highly influenced with his charisma and style of teaching, encouraged and pushed him to start his independent coaching and guidance classes.
Addressing the demand, he started his own independent training center for all government exam preparations in 2006 from his mother’s house. He started with an experimental batch of 22 students out of which 18 attained success and got selected in the Class I/II cadre office. Hearing this, there was an increase in demand which forced him to shift his classes out of his mother’s home’s limited space and conduct further classes in local school classrooms until 2016. He named his organization as “Sarovar Educations Society”. Further his dedicated set of female aspirants demanded for centers nearer to their homes for safety and transportation issues and other such factors, pushed him to set up more institutions all around the towns of Gujarat such as Dholka, Dhandhuka, Nadiad,Vadodata and other 11 centers at different places.
Dr. Hidayatullah also claims his students to be genuine and socially dedicated like him as many of his previous learners who cleared the examinations have now taken steps to arrange books, funds and other essentials for the poor aspiring learners. Many of his successful students in the high profile government jobs have joined him to train the students absolutely for free. From here we derive that Dr. Hidayatullah not only helped these people reach their goals but also transformed these humans into social and empathetic individuals working selflessly for the welfare and upliftment of the society without any greed. All thanks to influential beings like Dr. Hidayatullah who with their benevolent works serve as an inspiration to millions who go the same in return to others.
